"Wilhelm Grimm has found a worthy modern exposotpr-almost a brother-in Ron Murphy, whose gifts of research, sympathetic insight, and ecumenical religious imagination mirror those of.Eilhelm himself. Father Murphy's archival discoveries have allowed him to reconstruct Wilhelm's generous religious mentality, and his new readings of the tales in view of this mindset will come as a revelation to professional students of the Grimm's tales and to the general reader alike." {Joseph Harris}. This book has 189 pages. The text contains NO internal marks whatsoever. The previous owner's name has been stamped twice to the title page. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 041888
